But neither their lucky jerseys or the power of momentum could prevent a 2-1 loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.Here are some takeaways.No City Connect magicA day after a 14-run explosion, the Giants’ bats went quiet. They did not lack opportunities against erratic Pirates starter Johan Oviedo, who walked as many batters (five) as he struck out.Michael Conforto delivered an RBI single after back-to-back walks to Mike Yastrzemski and J.D. Davis in the first, but the Giants were unable to repeat the winning formula.
